WWE Edits A Major Bloodbath Off SmackDown!

As noted earlier this week here on WrestlingINC.com, Randy Orton caused Cody Rhodes to heavily bleed on SmackDown! following an errant shot to the head with the ring bell. Cameras quickly cut to close-up shots of Orton's face, with Rhodes' back only being visible for the remainder of the segment. Personnel covered Rhodes' head with a towel before Orton struck him with an RKO on the broadcast table.

The replay, however, showed blood streaming from the back of Rhodes' head.

According to fans in attendance at Tuesday's taping, pools of bloods were scattered around the ring following the segment.

They did a hell of a job editing that as it was said to have been brutal on Tuesday night at the TV tapings.
